Feast of

Today, July 16th we celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Let’s enlighten our little ones about the importance of this feast.

St. was the Prior General of Carmelite Order at the time of apparition. He used to pray fervently for the help of Blessed Mother as the order was undergoing difficulties during that period. Mother Mary appeared to St. Simon Stock, holding the Child Jesus in one arm and the brown in the other hand with the message “Whosoever dies clothed in this shall never suffer eternal fire”.

Scapular itself is believed to be a silent prayer. When we wear the scapular Our Blessed Mother surrounds us with her protection especially during the time of temptations. 2016 Heirs of Heaven

Show them the picture of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Lets encourage them to wear the brown scapular and pray at least a decade of daily (encourage our elder kids to recite a rosary daily).Because rosary and scapular are inseparable.

Song: – Teach them the song “As I kneel before you”

As I kneel before you, As I bow my head in prayer, Take this day, make it yours and fill me with your love.

Refrain: Ave Maria, Gratia plena, Dominus tecum, Benedicta tu.

All I have I give you, Every dream and wish are yours, Mother of Christ, Mother of mine, present them to my Lord.

(Repeat Refrain)

As I kneel before you, And I see your smiling face Every thought, every word Is lost in your embrace.

Activity: Wear the Brown Scapular and recite a Rosary. Younger kids may recite a decade of rosary.
